Detailed Answer:
thank you for sending the question.

The typical treatment for ear infection involves antibiotics. if the infection involve the external ear canal then topical antibiotics are typically used.

If the infection seems to be more like inner ear infection then Oralenta biotics are typically used. These medications can be obtained from your primary care doctor or local urgent care center. If you're having significant symptoms I suggest you contact your primary doctor or report to your local urgent care center for evaluation.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
